Bottomline is, the divorce rate is still way too high, and since it's the courts that grant the decree then I fail to see how it, and the legal system, can be absolved from complicity.
However, it still not as easy as you make out to seem, especially when there is property or children involved.

Most of the people that I have come across getting a divorce are people who have put A LOT of effort into the marriage. It is usually people who have been married over 10, 20, 30 years. I have not yet meet people who just want to divorce because they love paying alimony or child support, dividing their hard-earned money & property, or paying legal & court fees.

Furthermore, as long as you not in that marriage, you really don't know how some people do suffer.
